I bought a 2003 GMC Envoy 3/23/24. The main frame and sub-frame have extensive rot, and is unsafe to drive. It is available to inspect. They disguised frame damage and sold me an unsafe vehicle. I brought the car in to have the ac repaired in August 2024 and when they put it up on the lift that's when they saw the damage. This was Rogers Automotive in Westport MA. They told me at that time that it is unsafe to drive. It has not been inspected by any other parties at this time. We had no idea it was damaged, Rogers said it was sprayed to try to hide the damage.

What 2003 GMC Envoy owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear door will not open. Window works but door handles inside and outside will not unlock door to open.
My wife was sitting in the backseat and the back door flew open on the highway. I have also noticed the other back door is not clicking shut and this is a very dangerous situation.
Driver door will lock and unlock electronically but if you try to unlock door manually it does not unlock. If car crashes person could get trapped if car is on fire could cause a death if no power to electronic locks
We have been told by two different repair garages that the frame of the vehicle is totally rusted and dangerous. We have 150,000 miles on the vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 gmc envoy. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the front end of the vehicle collapsed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (robertson's gmc truck, 2680 cranberry hwy, wareham, ma 02571) where it was diagnosed that the frame assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and offered no further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was not available. *tt
It started with engine misfiring causing engine to jolt which damaged #4 coil pack seal to failed allowing water intrusion. In 2008, the gmc mechanic replaced all six coils seals but in 2013-present p0440 engine code is a leak in the evaporative emission (evap). Loose fuel tank filler cap is the most common cause that triggers the p0440 code. I failed a few smog check spending hundreds of thousands of dollars yet my problem still existence. I've contacted the bureau of automotive repair because purrfect auto in fullerton,ca lied about fixing my car. The bar made purrfect auto replace the gas tank and gas cap yet the engine light is still on displaying code p0440. Its been 14 years and I'm still dealing with this problem.
